Suite (Penderecki)

The Suite (formerly and alternatively entitled Divertimento) is a composition for solo cello by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki.

[1] Initially entitled Divertimento, Suite was written over the course of twenty years and had many additions and revisions.

[1] It consisted of only three movements: Serenade, Scherzo, and Notturno, all of them composed in 1994 and premiered on December 28, 1994, in Köln by Boris Pergamenschikow.

It was published several times by Boosey & Hawkes and Schott Music to include the different expansions to the suite.

[5] Since the composition was completed in 1994 but subsequently expanded, recordings initially omitted several movements when they were released.
